Initial Idea
In The Beatles Anthology, John Lennon states that "if stage shows were to be out, we wanted something to replace them. Television was the obvious answer." Most of the band members have quoted that the initial idea was Paul McCartney's, although he stated, "I'm not sure whose idea Magical Mystery Tour was. It could have been mine, but I'm not sure whether I want to take the blame for it! We were all in on it — but a lot of the material at that time could have been my idea." Prior to the movie, McCartney had been creating home movies, and this was a source of inspiration for Magical Mystery Tour.
Despite the fact that Magical Mystery Tour was ultimately the shortest of all Beatles films, nearly ten hours of footage was shot over a two week period. The core of the film was shot beginning on 11 September and finishing on 25 September. The following eleven weeks were mostly spent on editing the film from ten hours to 52 minutes. Scenes that were filmed but not included in the final cut include:
* A sequence where ice cream, fruit, and lollipops were sold to The Beatles and other coach passengers,
* John, Paul, George, and Ringo each looking through a telescope, and
* Happy Nat The Rubber Man (Nat Jackley) chasing women around the Atlantic Hotel's outdoor swimming pool, a sequence that John himself directed.
Much of the film was shot in and around RAF West Malling, an airfield in Kent that had recently been decommissioned. Many of the interior scenes, such as the final ballroom sequence for "Your Mother Should Know," were shot in the disused aircraft hangars. The exteriors, such as the "I Am the Walrus" sequence, and the marathon race, were filmed on the runways and taxi aprons. RAF Air Training Corps cadets can be seen marching in some scenes, and during "I Am the Walrus" an RAF Avro Shackleton is seen orbiting the group.
The mystery tour itself was shot throughout the West Country of England, including Devon and Cornwall, although most of the footage was not used in the finished film. The final striptease sequence was shot at Paul Raymond's Raymond Revuebar in London, and the sequence for "The Fool on the Hill" was shot around Nice, France. The visual sequence for the instrumental "Flying" uses aerial footage which was shot on tinted film that had originally been intended for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Magical Mystery Tour movie was made, but the hoped-for "magical" adventures never happened. During the filming, an ever greater number of cars followed the hand-lettered bus, hoping to see what its passengers were up to, until a running traffic jam developed. The spectacle ended after Lennon angrily tore the lettering off the sides of the bus.
The script of Magical Mystery Tour was very informal. The Beatles gathered together a group of people for the cast and camera crew, and told them to "Be on the coach on Monday morning." The film was made up along the way. Ringo Starr recalled "Paul had a great piece of paper-just a blank piece of white paper with a circle on it. The plan was: 'We start here-and we've got to do something here...' We filled it in as we went along."-Ringo Starr. Lennon recalled in a later interview, "We knew most of the scenes we wanted to include, but we bent our ideas to fit the people concerned, once we got to know our cast. If somebody wanted to do something we hadn't planned, they went ahead. If it worked, we kept it in." At one point, Lennon had a dream in which he was a waiter piling spaghetti on a woman's plate, so the sequence was filmed and included in the movie. Some of the older actors, such as Nat Jackley, were not familiar with the absence of a script, and were disappointed with the lack of one.
The film was unscripted and shooting proceeded on the basis of a mostly handwritten collection of ideas, sketches, and situations, which Paul McCartney called the "Scrupt." The situation is that of a group of people on a British charabanc bus (in a Bedford VAL Panorama) tour, focusing mostly on Mr. Richard Starkey (Ringo Starr) and his recently widowed Auntie Jessie (Jessie Robins). Other group members on the bus include the tour director Jolly Jimmy Johnson (Derek Royle), the tour hostess Miss Wendy Winters (Mandy Weet), conductor Buster Bloodvessel (Ivor Cutler), and the other Beatles.
During the course of the tour, "strange things begin to happen" at the whim of "four or five magicians," four of whom are played by The Beatles themselves and the fifth by long-time road manager Mal Evans.
During the journey, Ringo and his Auntie Jessie argue considerably. During the tour, Aunt Jessie begins to have daydreams of falling in love with Buster Bloodvessel, who displays eccentric and disturbing behaviour. The tour involves several strange activities, such as an impromptu race in which each tour group member employs a different mode of transportation (some run, a few jump into cars, a group of people have a long bike they pedal, while Ringo ends up beating them all with the bus). The entire tour group also crawls into a tiny tent in a field, inside which is a projection theatre. There is a strange scene where the group walks through what appears to be a British Army recruitment office. The film culminates with the men of the tour group watching a strip show.
The film is punctuated by musical interludes, which include The Beatles performing "I Am the Walrus" wearing animal masks, George Harrison singing "Blue Jay Way" while waiting on Blue Jay Way Road, and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band performing Vivian Stanshall and Neil Innes's "Death Cab For Cutie," sung by Vivian Stanshall himself.
The British public's reaction to the film was scathing. The film initially aired in the United Kingdom as a made-for-television film on BBC1. It was broadcast in black and white, although the film was shot in colour. The Beatles and the others they worked with on the film felt this was one of the main reasons it received bad reviews. George Martin, the band's producer said, "When it came out originally on British television, it was a colour film shown in black and white, because they didn't have colour on BBC1 in those days. It looked awful and was a disaster." The film was shown in colour on BBC2 a few days later.
Hunter Davies, the band's biographer, said: "It was the first time in memory that an artist felt obliged to make a public apology for his work." Paul McCartney later spoke to the press, saying: "We don't say it was a good film. It was our first attempt. If we goofed, then we goofed. It was a challenge and it didn't come off. We'll know better next time." McCartney also said, "I mean, you couldn't call the Queen's speech a gas, either, could you?" However, with the passage of time, McCartney changed his view of the production, saying: "Looking back on it, I thought it was all right. I think we were quite pleased with it."
In The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Tom Wolfe notes the similarity between this film and the exploits of Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters.
The poor critical reaction to the telecast soured American television networks from acquiring the film, while its one-hour running length made it commercially unviable for theatrical release. It was not seen in commercial theatres in the US until 1974, when New Line Cinema acquired the rights for limited theatrical and non-theatrical distribution; it was not broadcast on American television until the 1980s in syndication. However, it was shown in 1968 at the Fillmore East in New York City as part of a fundraiser for the Liberation News Service. The critical reception in 1967 had been so poor that no one had properly archived a negative, and these later re-release versions had to be copied from poor-quality prints. By the end of the 1980s, MPI, through rights holder Apple Corps, had released the movie on video, and a DVD release followed many years later.
The songs in order of their use in the movie:
1. "Magical Mystery Tour"
2. "The Fool on the Hill"
3. "She Loves You" (played during the marathon with a carnival-style organ)
4. "Flying"
5. "All My Loving" (orchestrated, as background music)
6. "I Am the Walrus"
7. "Jessie's Dream" (previously unreleased instrumental piece)
8. "Blue Jay Way"
9. "Death Cab For Cutie" (written by Vivian Stanshall and Neil Innes and performed by their band, the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band)
10. "Your Mother Should Know"
11. "Magical Mystery Tour" (once more)
12. "Hello, Goodbye" (finale played over end credits)

What does Disney purchase of Lucasfilm mean for central Florida?
It's a sale that could have implications for both Wall Street and science fiction conventions alike.
Lucasfilm and all the "Star Wars" brand is now Disney's newest moneymaker.
The $4 billion sale from George Lucas to Disney already made headlines for the announcement there will be a seventh "Star Wars" movie coming to theaters.
But what else could the property mean for Disney and central Florida?
Lucas said he wants to retire, but for anyone watching the relationship between the two, it really shouldn't come as a surprise.
Disney has a "Star Wars" attraction and plays host to the "Star Wars" Weekends celebrations.
Beside the movies, marketing possibilities alone are endless.
"If you look at what comes out of the movies, the rings outside of the movies, it's a lot of licensing, a lot of product, it's a lot of characters and stories which are going to end up back in the theme parks," said Rollins College marketing professor Mark Johnston.
The new "Star Wars" exhibit at the Orlando Science Center is 10,000 square feet of props, models and costumes from all six "Star Wars" movies.
Visitors to the exhibit said they are OK with Lucas' decision.
"He's a billionaire genius who doesn't need to run it by me what he does. He's the man," said fan Brian Wolfe.
Even if local fans are fine with his decision, fans on Twitter are not so welcoming.
"So now that Disney bought Star Wars, does that make Princess Leia a Disney princess?" asked one Twitter user.
Lucas said he is confident that "Star Wars" is in good hands with Disney. He said the sale is basically his retirement fund.

Woman donating kidney to save sister's life
Geri Whalen needs kidney, pancreas transplants
When Geri Whalen was told by doctors that she needed a kidney transplant, she didn't have to look too far for a donor.
Her sister, Dana Christner, answered the call and on Wednesday will donate a kidney to save her sister's life.
"I was blessed with good health. I just couldn't wait to help. There was no decision to be made," Christner said.
"As a sister, I just couldn't live without her; none of us could. So any pain I have after this surgery is going to be short-lived and go away, but the pain we would we feel if we lost her, or to watch her suffer from this any longer would be much worse, so she's just someone we just couldn't do without," Christner said.
Whalen said her sister has always looked out for her.
"She has been amazing. She has been looking after me and looking after everyone for forever," she said.
Whalen, who was diagnosed with diabetes when she was 9, learned she had kidney disease after giving birth to her third child in 2007.
Doctors told her she not only needs a kidney transplant to survive, but a pancreas transplant as well.
As a result, she'll be back on the waiting list for a new pancreas after recovering from surgery.
Christner arrived in Pittsburgh on Monday after flying in from her home in North Carolina. The surgery is scheduled for Wednesday.
"Once we have the kidney done, and then we have the pancreas done, I will be able to go back to work and I will feel amazing, and I'm really looking forward to that," Whalen said.
The average cost for a kidney transplant is $250,000, while a pancreas transplant is more than $285,000.
Whalen will also have to be placed on anti-rejection medications and receive follow-up care.
To help raise money for her medical expenses, Whalen's friends and family are holding a fundraiser at 5 p.m. on Jan. 24 at Del's Bar & Ristorante at 4428 Liberty Ave.
Related link: Geri Whalen donation page
The event, which has a $10 cover charge, will feature wings, pizza, pasta and a silent auction.
Anyone who wants to make a donation for Whalen can also do so by visiting transplants.org and selecting "find an NFT patient."
Donations can also be mailed to:
NFT Pennsylvania Transplant Fund
5350 Poplar Ave.
Suite 430
Memphis, TN 38119
Donors should write "in honor of Geri Whalen" in the subject line.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from a national anti-gay marriage group that tried to thwart Maine's campaign disclosure law requiring it to release its donor list.
The high court on Monday turned aside an appeal from the National Organization for Marriage, which donated $1.9 million to a political action committee that helped repeal Maine's same-sex marriage law.
Maine's campaign disclosure law requires groups that raise or spend more than $5,000 to influence elections to register and disclose donors. The group says it believes releasing the donor list would stymie free speech, but the lower court refused to throw out the law.
The case is pending with the state ethics commission, so the voter list remains under wraps.
Voters repealed the Maine's gay marriage law in 2009.

U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) started Anderson and Rooney at outside hitter, Millar and Holt at middle blocker, Patak at opposite, Hansen at setter and Lambourne at libero.
Jablonsky substituted for Anderson in the second set and started the third. Thornton substituted for Hansen in the second set and started the third.
Costa Rica kept the score close to open the first set. But with the U.S. Men leading 9-7, they scored twice to increase their lead to 11-7. The U.S. still led by four at 17-13 when it went on a five-point scoring run, including kills by Rooney, Holt and Patak and an ace from Millar, to lead 21-13. From there, the United States cruised to the 25-16 set victory. Holt had four kills and one block in the set. Rooney had two kills and two blocks and Millar finished with one kill and two aces.
Costa Rica took a 5-1 lead in the second set before the U.S. Men scored five straight points, including kills from Rooney, Holt, Anderson and Hansen and a Patak ace, to take a 6-5 lead. The United States led 8-6 at the first technical timeout (TTO). The U.S. Men continued to lead at 12-9 when a Rooney strike set off an 8-0 scoring run behind the serving of Anderson, who had four aces. The United States reached set point at 24-11. Costa Rica scored once more before the U.S. put the set away. Anderson had five points in the set with his four aces and one attack. Patak scored five points with four kills and one ace.
The United States jumped out to an 8-0 lead at the first TTO of the third set, getting four points from Jablonsky, who started the set for Anderson. The U.S. Men led 16-4 at the second TTO and reached match point at 24-8, allowing Costa Rica to score one more time before closing out the set. Jablonsky finished the set with seven points.

Dir: Steven Spielberg. US. 2012. 150mins
An engrossing, intelligent drama built around a seemingly dry piece of US congressional history — the political machinations that led to the passage of the 13th amendment, which abolished slavery — Lincoln is a stirring portrait of Abraham Lincoln but, perhaps more importantly, is a quietly compelling look into the nitty-gritty process of democratic government. Elevated by a marvellous performance from Daniel Day-Lewis as America's 16th (and, arguably, most beloved) president, this passion project from director Steven Spielberg suffers from his occasional tendency to indulge in sentimentality, but on the whole this confident, well-crafted film rewards viewers who are willing to be patient with its deliberate pace, which slowly builds in dramatic and emotional intensity.
Lincoln doesn't try to offer a definitive portrait of the man's motivations and psychological makeup, and in fact Day-Lewis's performance is intentionally withdrawn, keeping this celebrated president still something of a mystery.
Opening in limited release on November 9 before expanding the following weekend, Lincoln will benefit from Day-Lewis and Spielberg's names, not to mention the nation's ongoing fascination with Lincoln, an iconic figure who has been dead for almost 150 years. But while the movie is set during the Civil War, this is by no means a conventional war film. (Indeed, Lincoln's storyline pays little attention to the battlefield and instead is concerned with the president's attempts to corral enough votes for his constitutional amendment.) As far as international grosses are concerned, the question may be just how much overseas audiences will be interested in a critical, but by no means sexy, moment in American history. Nonetheless, awards attention and positive reviews for Day-Lewis will make Lincoln an Oscar player, if not necessarily a rousing box office success.
Inspired in part by Team Of Rivals: The Political Genius Of Abraham Lincoln, the acclaimed biography from historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, Lincoln is set in 1865 in the months before the president's assassination. The US Civil War has been waging for four years, and Lincoln (Day-Lewis) is hoping to pass an amendment through the House of Representatives that will end slavery. Aided by his loyal Secretary of State, William Seward (David Strathairn), and Congressman Thaddeus Stevens (Tommy Lee Jones), a tireless abolitionist, Lincoln looks to find enough votes from the rival political party to make the amendment law, but it will take a great amount of convincing and cajoling if the president is to succeed.
Lincoln differs from the traditional biopic in that rather than focusing on a famous person's whole life, the movie concentrates mostly on one pivotal month. Additionally, the famous man's life is merely part of a larger historical moment. Consequently, the film is more of an ensemble piece, although Day-Lewis definitely dominates the centre of it.
By now, it should be no surprise when Day-Lewis, a two-time Best Actor Oscar winner, gives a commanding performance, but nevertheless his Lincoln is particularly inspired. In this actor's hands, the president is a soft-spoken, somewhat awkward, funny man — someone who projects an aura of calm confidence that's especially reassuring amidst the agony of the Civil War and the tension surrounding the fate of his amendment. Considering that Lincoln is such a mythic, revered figure, hailed for his smarts and his elegant writings, Day-Lewis has done a wondrous job of stripping away the president's legend and instead presenting him as simply a man.
This onscreen Lincoln has a serenity about him, but Spielberg and Day-Lewis aren't interested in canonising him; indeed, there's a rugged directness in the actor's performance that makes the president present in a way that gives the film a welcome urgency.
Fans of the TV drama The West Wing may well appreciate the political manoeuvrings that form the backbone of Lincoln, but at first these sorts of talky backroom dealings would seem to run counter to the kinetic filmmaking style of Spielberg, who has wanted to make this film for more than 10 years. (Even his dramas like Schindler's List were more inherently compelling visually, while Amistad benefited from a traditional courtroom-drama structure.) But while Spielberg sometimes oversells the emotional resonance of important steps along the way to the amendment's passing — cued, as usual, by his long-time composer, John Williams — Lincoln nicely demonstrates how the minutiae of democracy can be thrilling, focusing on the disparate personalities on both sides of the slavery debate.
The movie is loaded — perhaps too much so — with distinguished actors, which results in some performers (like John Hawkes as a lobbyist and Jackie Earle Haley as the Confederacy's vice president) barely making much of an impression. And while the cast is generally quite strong, Jones occasionally overdoes his character's cantankerousness. But in general, the ham is at a minimum, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt memorable as Lincoln's oldest son Robert and Sally Field imbuing Lincoln's wife Mary Todd with real fire.
Lincoln's tech credits are unimpeachable, with production designer Rick Carter deserving special notice for his lived-in sets and unfussy period detail. The film doesn't allow cinematographer Janusz Kaminski to flaunt the sort of visual pizzazz that previous Spielberg collaborations afforded, but his subtle lighting and steady framing make the past seem as immediate as the present. Rather than trying to jazz up the proceedings, Kaminski and Spielberg have enough faith in their script (courtesy of Tony Kushner) and their actors not to decorate the drama with stylistic gimmicks.
Of course, though, the movie's strengths start with Day-Lewis. Lincoln doesn't try to offer a definitive portrait of the man's motivations and psychological makeup, and in fact Day-Lewis's performance is intentionally withdrawn, keeping this celebrated president still something of a mystery. But Spielberg is keenly aware of the pressures that Lincoln felt on all sides — from his advisors, from his political opponents, from his family members — and rather than artificially trying to amplify that tension, he lets Lincoln's thoughtful, deliberate decision-making process dictate the film's gradual pace.
No doubt Lincoln scholars will debate the accuracy of Day-Lewis's performance, but the actor's decision to portray the man as the calm eye at the centre of one of America's greatest storms gives the president a warm humanity that a couple centuries of deification had threatened to overshadow.

Lymphoma in dogs is a common cancer of lymphocytes. Between 15% and 20% of malignant tumors in dogs are lymphomas. Lymphomas can occur in the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, and other organs. The cancer can be aggressive and if left untreated, can lead to a high mortality. Treatment with chemotherapy has been very successful, adding months and occasionally years to the dog's life.
Which dogs are at risk for developing lymphoma?
Lymphoma primarily affects middle age to older dogs. There does not appear to be a sex predilection. Golden retrievers, boxers, bullmastiffs, basset hounds, Saint Bernards, Scottish terriers, Airedales, and bulldogs appear to be at increased risk of developing lymphomas. Only 10% to 20% of dogs are clinically ill when diagnosed; the majority are brought to the veterinarian because of recently identified swellings or lumps.
Why do dogs develop lymphoma?
While we understand how lymphomas form, we still do not understand why. In cats, there appears to be a strong link between some forms of lymphoma and infection with feline leukemia virus, however, in dogs such a link is not apparent. At the same time, some authors have hinted at a possible genetic correlation, but further studies need to be performed to determine the exact risk factors involved in canine lymphoma. Dogs who have a suppressed immune system appear to be at increased risk.
What are the symptoms of lymphoma?
The symptoms of lymphoma in dogs are related to the location of the tumor(s). Tumors that develop in the lymph nodes often present as swellings with no other symptoms. When the lymphoma is present in the gastrointestinal tract, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and lack of appetite are commonly seen. The mediastinal (chest) form often presents with shortness of breath and muffled heart sounds. The cutaneous (skin) form can present in several different ways including single or multiple lumps in the skin, or mouth. These bumps can itch or be red and ulcerated. Lymphoma can also occur in the heart, eyes, central nervous system or bone.
How is lymphoma in dogs diagnosed?
Lymphoma in dogs is diagnosed with a combination of diagnostic tests. Blood tests, fine needle aspirates of the tumor, biopsies, x-rays, and ultrasound are all used to confirm the diagnosis and location(s) of the lymphoma. The exact tests performed will depend on the location of the tumor. A complete blood count, chemistry panel, and urinalysis are also recommended. Lymphoma generally does not cause pain unless there is bone involvement. In 15% of dogs with lymphoma, the blood calcium level will be high.
The World Health Organization has developed a staging system for dogs with lymphoma. The stage is used in determining treatment regimens and prognosis. The stages are:
- Stage I: Single lymph node involved
- Stage II: Multiple lymph nodes in the same region involved
- Stage III: Multiple lymph nodes in multiple regions involved
- Stage IV: Liver and/or spleen involved (may or may not have lymph node involvement)
- Stage V: Bone marrow or blood involvement and/or other organ besides liver, spleen and lymph nodes involved
Dogs are further classified as "substage a" if they are not showing signs of illness, and "substage b" if they are.
What is the treatment for lymphoma in dogs?
The treatment for lymphoma in the dog consists of chemotherapy. Lymphoma is considered a systemic disease, which makes surgery and radiation impractical and ineffective. There is a wide variety of chemotherapy protocols and drugs that are currently being used to treat lymphoma. The treatment usually consists of a combination of oral and injectable drugs given on a weekly basis. Some commonly used drugs include cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and prednisone. The exact treatment protocol will vary depending on the veterinarian. The University of Wisconsin protocol is one of the more popular ones used by veterinary oncologists. While most veterinarians can administer the treatment protocols, owners of a dog with lymphoma may initially want to seek out a consultation with a veterinary oncologist to inform themselves of any new treatment recommendations.
What is the long-term outlook for a dog with lymphoma?
Some owners choose not to treat dogs that develop lymphoma. The life expectancy of these untreated dogs with generalized lymphoma (Stage III, IV, or V) averages 4 to 6 weeks. Oral prednisone therapy may reduce the swellings and discomfort, but probably will not appreciably extend their life span. It must also be noted that oral prednisone treatment prior to chemotherapy is not recommended and may actually reduce the effectiveness of the chemotherapy.
In dogs that do undergo one of the recommended chemotherapy protocols, life expectancy can extend out to a year and occasionally longer. However, even dogs that receive appropriate chemotherapy usually do not live longer than a year. If a dog tolerates chemotherapy (most dogs do) their quality of life can be quite good during the treatment period. Treatment for lymphoma in the dog is considered one of the more successful cancer treatments and can often be performed by a local veterinarian without the need to travel long distances to veterinary schools or specialty clinics. Since one year can be almost 10% of a dog's expected life span, the remission rate and increased life expectancy with lymphoma treatment is often well worth it.

You Know What I'm Talking About
Mass Effect 2 is finally in the bag after perhaps thirty hours of interstellar ramblin', and I'll be God Damned if they haven't ended up with something like a new genre. Bioware's unsparing assessment of their first go-round has resulted in a taut-ass sky-journey that spends hour after hour cinching itself around your throat.
I suggested a few days ago that the conversations ME2 engenders - conversations which might unfold during wholly spontaneous confabs - recommend the experience and reinforce how distinct different playthroughs can be. You run into trouble around the sixty or seventy percent complete mark, though, when it rapidly becomes clear that everyone has completed a different sixty or seventy percent. The formerly vigorous exchange tends to get (shall we say) distilled somewhat.
Sometime over the weekend, my Nook shifted from gadget to device.
For me, "gadget" is an almost pejorative term, reserved for quasi-useful technofetishist totems. If you like phones or whatever, I'm not judging your lifestyle. I work not three feet from someone whose body slips into some panting, carnal gear while taking in a high-res unboxing video. What I'm saying is that it's not my religion, and so its hymns never cross my lips.
The Kindle and the Nook are simply custom shells for a cellular modem attached to an E Ink display, the actual technology that forms the core of your experience with each. I suspect I'd be perfectly satisfied with a Kindle, or with whatever imminent Korean knockoff rhymes with either.
The Nook has a section called "The Daily" which features new articles every weekday - one relatively upmarket humor piece, alongside a literate assessment of today's date. I've found these things interesting, useful, worthy of perusal, but more than anything else it introduced the habit: fashioning a place for itself in the day's continuum. The sight of it near a bowl of cereal, the front flap folded delicately beneath it, should serve ably as a portrait. It is my companion. We are no longer strangers to each other.
I met someone who described themselves as a Kindle stalwart a few days ago who asked me to express what made the Nook superior - I couldn't really do that. At the same time, I could tell that he'd had experiences like mine - curiosity and discovery in equal measure - and for him, such moments are indelibly linked with Amazon's literature machine. I'm not there myself, not yet, but I get it. These things are hooked directly into some incredibly human drives.

PLAINSBORO -- During a visit this morning to West Windsor-Plainsboro North High School's AP history class, a student asked Gov. Christie if he would consider being Mitt Romney's running mate. Christie began giving his standard answer -- that he would listen if he gets the call, but he loves his current job.
Then, for the first time in public, he added this about Romney: "He might be able to convince me -- he's a convincing guy."
Following the veepstakes is a grand political tradition in America, and since it only happens every four years there's tremendous interest. As soon as I tweeted his comment, it blew up on Twitter. Check out the video below.
Perhaps Christie enjoyed his time in Washington this past weekend and hopes to return in a more official capacity next January. On Saturday night Christie attended the White House Correspondents Dinner, where host Jimmy Kimmel skewered him for his weight.
Asked how he felt about that at a news conference after meeting with the students today, Christie noted that he was sitting next to the bombshell from ABC's "Modern Family," Sofia Vergara:
"Luckily, for me, I had Sofia Vergara next to me to console me. And when you have her next to you to console you, let me tell you don't care what Jimmy Kimmel says...The fact of the matter is when you're overweight there are those who are going to make awful comments about you and people who are going to make jokes about you. And you gotta live with it."

He added: "What Jimmy Kimmel said to me is moderate compared to what people call me on Twitter daily."
Closer to home, Christie laughed off a challenge from Democratic Assembly Majority Leader Lou Greenwald (D., Camden), who in more than a half-dozen press releases challenged the governor to a debate over their tax cut plans. The challenge was in response to a statement Christie had made about being ready to debate the merits of his plan.
"Tell him not to hold his breath," Christie said. "Tell him I have something better to do: I have to rearrange my sock drawer tonight."
Greenwald's office countered with this statement: "If the governor thinks re-arranging his sock drawer is more pressing than working to boost property tax relief to working families, then that says a lot about his disregard for the middle-class. Still, I'd be more than happy to come over to help him as long as we can have this conversation."

The Government Shutdown: How It Could Impact Home Buyers
Posted in Market News by Erik Hand, President, Windermere Mortgage Services
There is much speculation on the impact that the current government shutdown will have on home buyers hoping to secure a mortgage. In the case of mortgage lending, the impact will depend on many things including the length of the shutdown, the current status of the loan, the borrower profile, and the lender's modified guidelines during the shutdown period.

Cooperative Spirit Shown By American Business After Re-Election Judges To Aid Liberalism Formula To Meet 1 est Is Sought by Federation Convention Heads TAMPA, Nov. 18.— (UP) — Two top-flight administratoin leaders brought delegates to the American Federation of Labor convention to their feet today with a sharp warning to the United States supreme court to "heed the November 3 election" and a pledge that President Roosevelt would drive ahead his reform program. Maj. George L. Berry, federal coordinator of industrial cooperation, bluntly pointed out that American business is showing a more cooperative spirit since Mr. Roosevelt's re-election. He traced the goals of his council lor industrial progress, composed of employers and labor leaders, which include minimum wages, maximum hours and elimination of cutthroat competition.

I feel that court will adjust Itself to the mandate of the people at the polls on November 3—a determination that liberalism shall be established and maintained ln the United States."

The dance U in charge of the Interfratemity councU, headed by Bob Trapp. Lancers under Louis Tarle-ton's supervision will strive to make the Trojan campus "tag conscious." Yesterday's assembly added $96 to the cheat coffers, it was stated last night by Gardiner Pollich, chest chairman. Most of the money collected so far has come from organized groups. Pollish said. A large number of students have not as yet pledged anything to the fund, the chairman continued. Tags Explained It was pointed out yesterday that only those who purchase tags from authorized sales people would be permitted to wear them. Contributions given through fraternities and sororities does not entitle one to one of the "I gave" placards. The chest committee stated last night that unless a more spontaneous enterprise ls shown by students, the quota would not be reached. If 10 cents were contributed by each Trojan, the success of the campaign would be assured, the committee workers emphasized. Fear Expressed PoUich expressed a slight fear for the success of the chest venture, but stated that he believed that the tag sellers would present a strong enough appeal to put the campus over the established quota mark. "It was gratifying to see so many students wearing tags on the first day of the drive," Pollich said yesterday. This same sentiment was voiced by other members of the committee. Fraternities have been requested to rum all of their money Into Fred Hall and sororities should deposit their collections with Joyce Rippe. This should be done as soon as possible so that the amount can be added to the total which will be shown on the progress thermometer. Business Students Arrange Barbecue The Riverside Drive Breakfast club. 3213 Riverside drive, has been selected as the site for a barbecue to be held by students of the College of Commerce and Business Administration between 3 and 6 o'clock Saturday afternoon.

North Dakota's Deer Season Set, Online Apps Available May 9
North Dakota's 2012 deer season is set, with 65,300 licenses available to hunters this fall, 44,650 fewer than last year and the lowest since 1988.
Randy Kreil, wildlife chief for the State Game and Fish Department, said the decline in the deer population is a result of increased adult mortality and reduced fawn production following the severe winters of 2008-10. In addition, the extreme winter conditions followed nearly a decade of aggressive deer management featuring large numbers of antlerless licenses in many units.
"It is expected there will be very few, if any licenses remaining after the initial lottery," Kreil said. "Therefore, there is not a concurrent season this year."
Hunters are able to draw one license for the deer gun season and one for the muzzleloader season, and purchase an archery license. Unlike the past several years, however, Kreil said a hunter will not be able to receive more than one license for the deer gun season.
Low deer numbers are evident in all portions of North Dakota, Kreil said, as all but two hunting units are below management goals. The statewide hunter success rate in 2011 was 52 percent, the lowest on record and well below the typical 70-75 percent success rate experienced by North Dakota deer hunters.
"The large decrease of licenses in 2012 is necessary to allow the deer population to grow toward management goals," Kreil said.
The mule deer population in the badlands was also stung by three consecutive harsh winters, with the three lowest years of fawn production observed from 2009-11. Survey numbers indicate mule deer in the badlands are down 23 percent from last year and 52 percent below 2007.
As a result, no antlerless mule deer licenses are available for the 2012 deer season in units 3B1, 3B2, 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E and 4F, Kreil said. "This restriction applies to regular gun, resident and nonresident any-deer bow, gratis and youth licenses," he added.
The number of licenses available for 2012 is 1,200 antlered mule deer, a decrease of 3,350 mule deer licenses from last year; 1,282 for muzzleloader, down 826 from last year; and 120 restricted youth antlered mule deer, a decrease of 130 from last year.
North Dakota's 2012 deer gun season opens Nov. 9 at noon and continues through Nov. 25. Online applications for the regular deer gun, youth, muzzleloader, and resident gratis and nonresident landowner seasons will be available about May 9 through the Game and Fish Department's website at gf.nd.gov. Also, paper applications will be at vendors throughout the state the week of May 14. The deadline for applying is June 6.
Total deer licenses are determined by harvest rates, aerial surveys, deer-vehicle collision reports, depredation reports, hunter observations, input at advisory board meetings, and comments from the public, landowners and department field staff.


text:
I respect the Torah greatly and try to observe its commands. One thing that bothers me, however, are the Midrashic texts which describe things in a very far-out way. I recently saw something about Moses being 10 cubits tall. Is that to be taken literally? Because if so, I have a hard time accepting it.
You have touched on a very fundamental topic in Jewish thought.
Writing in Jewish Action magazine, Rabbi Yitzchak Adlerstein explains:
There are a number of different ways of dealing with passages that seem to elude our grasp. The simplest is to ignore the problem. If that's what it says, then that's what it means – and let the chips fall where they may.
Many of our rabbis, though, would not concur with such an approach. The twelfth century Maimonides, for instance, wrote about three different attitudes in his day toward the Midrash (aggada). One group felt it an exercise in piety to simply accept everything in the works of the Talmudic rabbis, no matter how far-fetched. But rather than demonstrate their loyalty and tenacity, says Maimonides, these people cause much harm. Rather than praising us as a "wise and discerning people," the non-Jewish world reacts to this stance by thinking of us as "debased and foolish."
And that they did. In the infamous polemical debates of medieval times, a frequent target of the venom of both the Church and the Karaites was the philosophical aggada. Passage after difficult passage was paraded out to show the foolishness of the Jews in believing in this kind of stuff (or their arrogance in elevating Man above God, or assigning human properties to Him, or, at a later time, to demonstrate from the aggada itself that the Jews should really accept the Christian messiah.)
Another approach, if it can be called that, is to assert that the rabbis were simply wrong about many things. This creates a frightful dichotomy in our relationship with the Talmudic rabbis. Is it tenable to see them as incredibly profound when it comes to Jewish law, and incredibly naive and shallow when it comes to the philosophical topics treated in aggada?
There is an alternative, one that accepts without reservation that every syllable of the rabbis resonates with brilliance and profundity. It approaches the words of the Talmudic rabbis with unqualified acceptance and regard. It assumes that every epigram, every passage, every remark flows with the Divine wisdom that is vouchsafed to those who immerse themselves in Torah. At the same time, it refuses to concede any irrationality to the words of these Sages. God himself is the ultimate Source of this wisdom; His Torah cannot be irrational nor even arbitrary.
One figure stands out as a master of this approach. He is Rabbi Judah Loew of Prague, usually identified by the acronym Maharal.
Take the Midrash which says that Vashti, the original queen in the Purim story, had a "tail." According to Maharal, we should not be slaves to the literal meaning of words. The Sages employed a richness of expression, just as we today use our own idiomatic form for a functionless growth. We call it "spare tire." (Will future anthropologists, noting references to "spare tire" but unfamiliar with contemporary usage, assume that people once propelled themselves on two axles?) In explicating the words of the Sages, we must always look for symbolism, allegory, idioms, and the clever turn-of-the-phrase that can say so much in so few words.
Maharal does not reject the miraculous. Rather he rejects a superficial reading of the words of the rabbis, words he is convinced almost always disguise more than they reveal. When we probe the true intent of the rabbis, we discover that they saw Divine intervention occurring in ways that may be more profound than the simple miracle that the text suggests.
To properly understand these Midrashic passages, it is essential to have a learned and wise Torah teacher. If you tell me what city you're located in, I'll be happy to recommend someone that you could contact.
